Opening April 19th in select cities, and opening everywhere April 26th, Rob Zombie’s new epic THE LORDS OF SALEM will be hitting theaters and to prepare us for the visual insanity certain to ensue, Anchor Bay has released the following clip.

The film is opening in the following cities on April 19th: New York (and LI), New Jersey, Connecticut, Boston, Los Angeles, Boston, San Francisco, Chicago, Philadelphia, DC, Miami, Dallas, Houston and Detroit. More cities are expected to be announced.

Sheri Moon plays Heidi, a DJ at a local radio station, who, together with the two Hermans (Whitey and Munster), forms part of the “Big H Radio Team.”

A mysterious wooden box containing a vinyl record arrives for Heidi, a gift of the Lords. She assumes it’s a rock band on a mission to spread to spread their word. As Heidi and Whitey play the Lord’s record, it starts to play backwards, and Heidi experiences a flashback to a past trauma.

Later, White plays the Lord’s record, dubbing them the Lords of Salem, and to his surprise, the record plays normally and is a massive hit with his listeners.

The arrival of another wooden box from the Lords presents the Big H team with free tickets, posters and records to host a gig in Salem. Soon, Heidi and her cohorts are far from the rock spectacle they’re expecting. The original Lords or Salem are returning and they’re out for blood.

300 years earlier on the very streets of Salem that the townspeople walk on today, innocent folk were rounded up from their homes, convicted of being witches and sentenced to death. The Lords of Salem ran the town with an iron fist, but four witches who were tortured and killed in secrecy vowed that one day they would be back for revenge.

Opening April 14th, Rob Zombie’s new epic THE LORDS OF SALEM will be hitting theaters and to prepare us for the visual insanity certain to ensue (as if we’re not already frothing at the mouth waiting for a new original Rob Zombie film), multiple clips have hit the web along with new promotional art from the SXSW showing. Check ’em out after the break!

Eight days ago, new promotional art was released for Rob Zombie’s upcoming THE LORDS OF SALEM. Now, a new poster has been released with a mystery character on it and instead of his former blue color scheme, he’s gone blood red. A much better choice in my opinion, but all of these are going to look great hanging on my wall after the film comes out. I suppose we could say he’s gone through his Picasso-esque Blue Period and has now moved onto his Red Period.

“THE LORDS ARE COMING,” so states the latest promotional art for Rob Zombie’s upcoming feature THE LORDS OF SALEM. I’ve got to say, I’m kind of digging on this one a bit more than his “blue period” designs, this promo featuring some type of cultish symbol we can only guess will be important within the film.

12 days ago, a similar poster was released for Rob Zombie’s upcoming THE LORDS OF SALEM. I suppose we could say he’s going through his Picasso-esque Blue Period as, once again, it’s another image, this time featuring Sheri Moon Zombie, in blue. Check it out below the synopsis, along with the first in the “blue series.”

I must be on a THE LORDS OF SALEM kick today. As more and more news has been hitting the web concerning the premiere of Rob Zombie’s film at the Midnight Madness selection at the Toronto International Film Festival, one thing I haven’t seen much of is some of the behind the scenes shots from the making of the film. Well, boils ‘n ghouls, today’s your lucky day as I just so happen to have 10 of them (some you may have seen, some you might not have seen). Check ’em out below!

I’m in the final stages of finishing the film. By the end of August, we’ll be done. The sound designers are still creating some of the sound effects for the movie. Once they’re done, I’ll go into the mix stage in August and mix the final sound for the movie. Then, I’ll be done.

In HALLOWEEN II, you traversed darker, dreamier territory. Are you going down that psychological road further with THE LORDS OF SALEM? THE DEVIL’S REJECTS and HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES are more visceral.

This movie is definitely a slow psychological burn. Not a lot of people have seen the movie, but I have had some screenings for people. It’s a weird movie, and it affects me the same way. When you watch it, it seems like there’s not a lot happening for a while. However, what’s happening is you’re starting to get sucked into the pace of the movie though. I’ve noticed movies that fuck with you dictate the pace you watch them at. A lot of modern movies are cut exactly how the audience wants to watch them, but if you watch a movie like The Shining, it moves at a very strange pace. It starts controlling you as you’re watching. There will be a simple scene in The Shining that’ll take forever to complete itself, but that weird rhythm starts fucking with you as you’re watching the movie. That’s kind of how this movie functions. It wasn’t one particular thing like, “Oh my God, that’s so scary”. It’s a long slow mind fuck. When it ended, several people sat there stunned, didn’t say anything, and left. I thought, “Fuck, they hate the movie”. Then, they called me the next day and said, “Sorry I left. I didn’t know what to say. I had to go home and digest that. That thing fucking freaked me out”. Then, they would call me the next day and talk for a while. It’s a very strange movie. I wanted to go against a lot of the conventions that I’ve seen in what are considered horror movies. There are certain things that always happen. I wanted to break away from them. It’s a more psychological movie.

Those old black and white movies like HORROR HOTEL and THE OLD DARK HOUSE built slowly too. At the end, the payoff is always greater.

Yeah, in this one especially, it’s the cumulative effect of the things that have happened. Lots of little crazy things happen all the way through it. There’s not one particular thing where you’re flying out of your seat. The way it unfolds is like Chinese water torture dripping on you.

SYNOPSIS:

Heidi, a blonde rock chick, DJs at a local radio station and, together with the two Hermans (Whitey and Munster), forms part of the “Big H Radio Team”.

A mysterious wooden box containing a vinyl record arrives for Heidi, “a gift from the Lords”. She assumes it’s a rock band on a mission to spread their word. As Heidi and Whitey play the Lords’ record, it starts to play backwards, and Heidi experiences a flashback to a past trauma.

Later Whitey plays the Lords’ record, dubbing them the Lords of Salem, and to his surprise, the record plays normally and is a massive hit with listeners.

The arrival of another wooden box from the Lords presents the Big H Team with free tickets, posters and records to host a gig in Salem. Soon Heidi and her cohorts find that the gig is far from the rock spectacle they’re expecting: The original Lords of Salem are returning, and they’re out for BLOOD.
